More info on car chip

Well, I bought one. I need to do some diags on another car and was looking for a OBDII scanner. If it works like it says, it is a great price for what you get. I mean, you can't to real-time lookup of all engine outputs but if you know what you want to measure, I think it will be helpful. I got the E/X model. They are not currently shipping, they are supposed to be in around the end of the month.

What is everyone else using to monitor OBDII info....?

Looks cool, I did not read the whole thing, but if it has obd2 scanning that it will be a very helpful tool if you go turbo, enabling you to determine default codes ect
So I decided to cancel the order for the car chip, I am going with something else...probably PDA based. The car chip does full OBD scanning but the fastest sampling rate is 5 seconds (since it is mostly used for fleet monitoring) I would really rather prefer PocketPC based since my Axim is color and has memory expansion and my Palm does not. But I don't use my Palm anymore so that is a good reason to use that in my car. I am really interested in these two:
Nology
Auterra
They actually look identical interms of software but the Auterra doesn't do Dyno directly (it would have to be calculated by moi). But it does cost $150+ less than the Nology.
Decisions, decisions....

MP3#872 said:Okay...ordered the Auterra stuff. Now I am looking for an equation to calculate either horsepower or torque at each rpm so I can chart it. I may have to resort to breaking out my books on Newtonian physics to derive itHopefully someone else has already figured it out...

I think that with the nology, there is a pdb converter that puts your info on an Excel Spreadsheet. Not sure if it is platable yet. We will see.
Yeah, the Auterra has the same converter for export. It does not natively have support for the HP and TQ curve charting. I would have to derive it manually. The Nology has a chart that you can create that automatically charts HP and TQ based on variables that you set, correct? I'm just wondering what sensors they are using to monitor that and what the equation is to get HP or TQ. Once you have one, the other is easy to calculate.
For instance, if they are using engine load and RPM and then calculating HP and TQ then I could just export the engine load and RPM data and then apply a formula to every point and get the same HP and TQ curve.
